Chickpeas cooking tips
-
Wait! Are garbanzo beans chickpeas? Yes, garbanzo beans and chickpeas are the same legume. Both names are used interchangeably throughout the U.S. on packagings.
-
You can buy chickpeas both dried and pre-cooked in cans. Dried chickpeas are available in different sizes and can be variable in quality. Canned or jarred chickpeas (most of our recipes use them) just need to be reheated if you are eating them in a hot dish, or can be used straight from the can for a recipe like hummus. However, cooking canned chickpeas will tenderize the beans and soften them up a bit when used in various recipes.
-
Skin the chickpeas to make super silky hummus. If you have ever eaten a very smooth hummus, chances are that the cooked chickpeas were skinned. Chickpeas have a thin skin that can easily be slipped off if you have the time.
